Help[Opinions] Ziya or Zia?
For a boy.
Zia has been on my list for years but I've grown to really like the Ziya spelling as well.
So which spelling do you prefer?
My combo is Mordecai Zia Storm / Mordecai Ziya Storm, if that affects you at all.
(i am only asking about spelling, thank you.)
"than you will go to jail for kidnap."

Hmm, tough one... They both look good in there.I think, in the end, I'd vote for Ziya. It might help other people get over how "feminine" it looks because it's less Mia-like and looks a touch more ethnically influenced.

To everyone saying "it's too feminine"
My favorite boy's name is Ashley. I don't care! Soft sounding boys names are my style.
And to everyone suggesting slightly more masculine names: Thanks but I really was just asking about the spelling. I like this name thank you!

Is it pronounced ZYE-ah?
I pick Zia because it looks more masculine. For some reason, a 'y' in a name always makes it more feminine.

It's pronounced ZEE-ah.

Then I would still go with Zia. It just looks better, IMO.

I would use Ziya...it looks more boyish than Zia to me.

I would pronounce Zia "Zee-ah" and Ziya "Z-eye-ah", and so see them as different names but I love them both, though I prefer the clean look of Zia. I'd name my daughter this. Ziya seems more musculine than Zia. What about Zaid/Zayd?

Zayd is too similar to Zayn, which is already on my list and used in a different combo. Thanks though.

While I like the sound of Zion, it feels very religious to me and if I were to have a child, both of his parents would be atheists, so no thank you.
Also Zia / Ziya sounds better in the combo when the last name (which starts with S and ends with -on) is added; Zion creates too many repeating sounds imo.
